What you can expect

This half day tour begins and ends in Makarora, approximately 45 minutes drive from Wanaka. Your journey begins with a breathtaking 25-minute flight aboard Southern Alps Air's iconic yellow plane, Buttercup, offering unparalleled views of the UNESCO World Heritage Aspiring National Park from your window seat.

Upon landing in the remote Siberia Valley, you'll step into a world of natural wonder to embark on a 2.5-3 hour unguided walk. The walking portion of the Siberia Experience from Wanaka takes you through native beech forests and along the Siberia Stream, leading to the expansive Wilkin Valley. Surrounded by towering peaks, you'll follow the path accompanied by native bird song, providing an intimate encounter with New Zealand's pristine wilderness.

Jump onto a 30-minute jet boat safari on the Wilkin and Makarora Rivers, where glacial waters carve through the landscape in braided rivers.
